    The Dammgraben is the longest man-made ditch in the Upper Harz and is part of the Rammelsberg Mine, Old Town of Goslar and Upper Harz Water Management and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010.
    Its purpose was to divert surface water for the operation of the Upper Harz coal and steel industry from distant areas with high levels of precipitation (in particular from the Bruchberg massif and parts of the Brocken massif). It gets its name from the Sperberhaier Dam, which bridges a depression in the terrain.

      Gorgeous long paths along the dam ditch! It is very interesting that the special features of the Upper Harz water shelf are pointed out and explained here in many places.
